We are a global early-stage VC firm that builds and invests in groundbreaking technology companies.

Start having a real impact

At Antler, we believe that it is important to have exceptional people, regardless of their background and nationality, work on addressing large global opportunities and challenges. We bring together exceptional people to build their next startup. We help to validate the business model, mentor the teams, give access to an unmatched global network of advisors and provide financing from day one so that you can build and scale your company faster.

A community of founders

We help build strong co-founding teams

We help you find the right co-founder among 70–100 other carefully selected founders (industry experts, coders, hackers, experienced operators and more). We also connect you with successful entrepreneurs from all over the world to help you succeed.

We invest in founders from day one

We look for people with inner drive, grit and what we call a “spike”, something they’re exceptionally good at. All entrepreneurs get an individual grant from day one, and after two months we invest in selected teams to kick-start their startup.

Get from zero to seed in 6 months

Joining Antler is a full-time commitment. Join before you started building your company, find co-founder(s) and start building from scratch with our support. Select one of our cities, and get ready for a journey that will get you places you didn’t think was possible.
